Program expansion?

Does anybody know which programs are expanding their classes this year? I tried to look on the ACGME website but they only list programs that are newly opened, not ones that are expanding. Thanks!

U of A expanded this last yr. to 16 categoricals from 13. Also there is a chance there will be a 2nd program out here which will also be run by the U of A.

I believe LSU-Baton Rouge (Earl K. Long) expanded this year to 15.

I think New Mexico went from 9 to 10 this year.

Maimonides got 2 more. USF is trying for more, from what I hear.

Thanks for the replies! Now I have another question: when programs expand, do they usually expand all of their classes (PGY-2s, 3s, and 4s) or is it only their next incoming PGY-1 class?

Pretty sure that in theory they expand all years at once rather than waiting, but they don't necessarily try to take people those years in transfer.

USF wanted to expand to 10 per class for this current intern class but only got approved for 8, and with the new much larger ED, they want more residents to staff it.
